Love Life At School (Chapter Fourteen)

(Weekend)

Arron walked all the way to Hebe’s house, resting a few times on the way in case when he arrived he looked puffed out. Then, she’ll think he’s poor and won’t like him. Maybe not even want to be friends with him. I must be of same status of her, he told himself. Well, almost, quite far of. As he thought of these, he started comparing himself with her.

(Arron’s POV)
She’s rich. I’m poor. She has everything. I have nothing. She has parents. I don’t. She has a family. I...don’t.
(End of POV)

Arron reached her house. At the gate he stood and stared at her house as if it was his first time. Then he saw someone come out. It was Hebe.

(Arron’s POV)
She’s so beautiful. So sweet. So...
(End of POV)

“Hey!” she tapped him on the shoulder. He was startled and went a step back. Almost losing his balance, he moved his body forward and fell towards her. They fell on the ground, him on top of her. Their lips almost met, only by a few millimeters but he stopped himself in time. Their eyes opened wide and Arron quickly got up, dusting his clothes. He blushed bright red and turned away to hide his face from her. On the other hand, Hebe was still lying flat on the ground. She bated her breath for so long though she didn’t know she could bate it for so long. She looked up at him as he turned away and suddenly realized she was still on the ground. She stood the right way up immediately and turned away too.

Silence took over for a long moment. Then she broke it. “Erm.. shall we go in?”

“Oh.. of.. of course.”

He followed her into the house where he gaped at the spacious rooms and expensive furniture. She led him to a room. There he saw a radio and a mirror wall. He realized it was not just a room but it was a dancing studio. “It’s huge!” he cried.
She stared at him. “Huge?” she inquired.

Arron: Yeah. Why?

Hebe: You call this huge?

Arron: Er.. yeah. What’s the problem exactly?

Hebe: Everyone who goes to our school are rich and more than capable of having huge rooms or whatsoever.

Arron: Oh.. (realize his mistake)

Hebe: Aren’t you?

Arron: Not exactly. (blush)

Hebe: Oh... Nevermind. That’s not important.

Arron: Ya. So what do you want to learn?

(Hebe’s POV)
My... it was awkward when we fell. I’d better not tell him about my feelings. Anyway, I don’t know how to go about it.
(End of POV)

-------------------------
Selina was shopping on her own. Her mind was whirling with thoughts (everyone seem to be thinking too much). But again she wasn’t paying much attention to what she was taking.

(Selina’s POV)
Why does everyone I like seem to like other people. First Arron was getting to like Hebe. Then Wu Chun like Ella. Now both of them are practically officially together . Why am I so unlucky in love? Jiro seem to be the only one whom I like who did not seem to like anyone else but me. At least he’s faithful. Maybe I might consider going out with him. He treats me awfully nicely. Yeah. I’ll do just that. But not now. Oh no! What did I take?
(End of POV)

She quickly put back everything she took and began to concentrate on her shopping properly, leaving her thoughts.

-------------------------
Angela: You two! Oh my god! I don’t believe this!

Angela was sitting on a swing in an empty playground in her neighbourhood. She was thinking (again).

(Angela’s POV)
I really don’t know what to do. Calvin hates me now. I know. I shouldn’t have kissed him. I really shouldn’t have. Ohh.....
(End of POV)

Then something interrupted her thoughts. She saw Ella and Wu Chun holding hands and she cried out to them. They stopped and looked around. They saw her and started to blush (really, I don’t know what’s wrong. Everyone are thinking too much and blushing. Haiz..).

Wu Chun: Er... Hi Angela.

Ella: Hi..

Angela: I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Is this real?

Ella: What do you think?

Angela: Wow!

Wu Chun: What do you think? I mean of us.. being together.

Angela: (speechless)

Wu Chun and Ella: ( getting uncomfortable with her silence and starring eyes)

Ella: I think we should go.

Wu Chun: Erm.. yeah. Bye Angela.

Angela: Huh? Oh.... bye... bye..

They walked off, leaving Angela with her thoughts once more.

-------------------------
Jiro was helping himself to the food at the orphanage. Since he had nothing to do, he sat on his bed in his room that he shared with Arron. He stuffed his mouth with junk food. And he just did that. He was not doing anything other than that. Nothing at all. No, not even thinking (at least SOMEONE has some sense to not think). He tried to go to bed but he was wide awake. So he just lied on the bed and stared into the ceiling, feeling extremely bored.

-------------------------
“Master, here is your food.”

“Thank you. Put it on the table and leave me alone.”

“I take my leave now, Master.”

Calvin was at home in his fabulously luxurious room. He was also lying on his bed (like Jiro). But he was thinking about his love life (thinking again, what’s wrong with everyone? Except Jiro of course).

(Calvin’s POV)
What am I to do now? How can I love two girls? I have to make a decision. But who? Its so hard. Hebe is beautiful and sweet whereas Angela is beautiful also and kind. Gosh! I’d better make a decision soon. This is ruining my life. Arrggghhhh....... I should rest my mind and have my lunch. Yes.
(End of POV)

He went to the table and started to eat, putting all his thoughts away.
